SOAP::Lite Hello World Help

abhishes has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello All,
I have installed soap lite on my windows machine and I am not able to execute the Hello World sample from james snell's soap programming book.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Hello.pm
--------
package Hello;
sub sayHello{
shift;
return "Hello ". shift(@_);
}

HelloSoap.plx
-------------
use strict;
use warnings;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
use Hello 'c:/Inetpub/Scripts';

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
  ->dispatch_to('Hello::(?:sayHello)')
  ->handle
;

HelloClient.pl
--------------
use strict;
use warnings;
use SOAP::Lite;

my $name = shift;

print "The soap server says ";
print SOAP::Lite
  ->uri('urn:Example1')
  ->proxy('http://localhost/Scripts/HelloSoap.plx')
  ->sayHello('$name')
  ->result. "\n\n";
[download]

When I run my client (perl HelloClient.pl World) it doesn't do hello world. it just says "soap server says: " and then the program completes. no error messages ... no warnings... Please tell me what is incorrect in my code.

regards,
Abhishek.

abhishes, try placing use SOAP::Lite +trace => debug; in your client script. Using the example posted, I see >Failed to access class (Example1) : Can't locate Example1.pm in @INC (@INC contains:) in the debug output. From here, just a few changes. `my $name = shift; print "The soap server says "; print SOAP::Lite ->uri('urn:Hello') # replace with Hello class ->proxy('http://localhost/cgi-bin/HelloSoap.plx') ->sayHello($name) # removes tics ->result. "\n\n";` [download] C:\web>helloclient.pl "Perl Monks!" The soap server says Hello Perl Monks! hope this helps. cheers, -semio	[reply] [d/l]

Bingo !!!. You did it. Yes. It works for me now. The namespace was wrong. When I changed it to urn:Hello it works for me as well. Thank you so much. regards, Abhishek.	[reply]

Are you sure you have an "1" in the last line of your .pm-file? A Module always must return true ... Good luck! weini	[reply]

When you run HelloClient.pl to you give it an argument? As in ... `$ HelloClient.pl World` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
